Space billionaire Elon Musk and singer Grimes have split up, Musk has announced, adding that they still “love each other, see each other frequently, are on great terms,” and will share care of their son. Cue social media meltdown.
The SpaceX tycoon and Tesla founder told entertainment-news website Page Six on Friday that, though the pair are “semi-separated,” they remain close – indeed, he said, she was currently staying with him, and “Baby X” was “in the adjacent room.” Baby X would appear to be Daddy’s moniker for X Æ A-Xii, the awkwardly named child the two welcomed into the world in May 2020.
Musk explained that his work was primarily in Texas or “traveling overseas,” while Grimes – real name Claire Boucher – was based in Los Angeles. The singer is reportedly filming a TV show for Fox called ‘Alter Ego’.
The end of the couple’s three-year relationship was a hot topic on social media, having been controversial – and epic meme fodder – since day one.
literally i have grimes shit all over my room i’m a huge fan but i can honestly say that i’m never going to believe this story she has new show and album she is promoting and there’s no way this wasn’t a PR stunt 💯💯💯💯💯
Happened across this. I have pretty much zero interest in Musk & I don't even know who "Grimes" is (though I have a vague memory of them having a baby) but if they still "love each other" & "are on great terms" why are they "semi-separated"? What am I missing here? https://t.co/t0qfzLAIJC
